Here are our tips on things to look for when searching for houses in Boca Raton.   

Location

You can change almost everything about a home except its location. Be sure the house for sale is close to what matters to you - work, schools, shopping, etc. Location also includes the home’s place within the neighborhood. Many people don’t consider factors such as traffic flow, noise, and privacy. Be sure to visit the neighborhood at different times of day and night. Are the streets well-lit? How much privacy does your potential new home offer? What is the view like from the windows and your yard? Pay close attention to those small details that you cannot control.

The Size of the Home

You’ll also want to consider the size of your home. Think about how big of a yard you want and the size of the rooms. Are the rooms big enough for the furniture you have or want? Is there enough storage in the home (pantries, closets, etc.)? While you are considering your current needs, think about future needs. Do you have young children who might need more room as they grow and are you planning to expand your family? Your Lang Realty agent will ask you about these factors so we can filter out homes that don’t fit your needs.

The Condition of the Home

You know you can’t always judge a book by its cover. A well-manicured, beautiful home could be hiding some flaws. Lang Realty recommends ordering a home inspection, which takes a close look at everything from the foundation, roof, and HVAC to the plumbing and water damage. It also alerts you to potentially dangerous issues, such as carbon monoxide, mold, and radon gas. Even if there are some repairs to be done after you buy a home, it’s best to know about them before buying Boca Raton real estate so you can plan how to tackle them.

Follow Your Sixth Sense

Nobody knows what you want or need better than you. Even if it is your first time buying a house, trust yourself. If something seems off, take that feeling seriously, even if you can’t pinpoint the reason. Your home will likely be the largest investment of your life, so you want to make sure it is perfect for you. After all, you’re the one who will be living there every day, so take your time viewing Boca Raton homes for sale to make sure you find the one you can see yourself in for as long as you want.
